Author Notes

Dukkah is an Egyptian spice and nut blend. My variation strays a bit from tradition with the inclusion of toasted coconut. I like to sprinkle it on salads or eggs and to serve it with bread and olive oil. It also makes a great crunchy coating for chicken or fish. Really, the possibilities are endless. It makes about everything taste a bit better and it makes a great gift. —eva @myfrontburner

Test Kitchen Notes

WHO: Eva katz is a food writer and recipe developer in Boston and this is her first contest finalist!
WHAT: The condiment you’ll be sprinkling on your food for all of eternity.
HOW: Toast and grind coriander and cumin seeds. Toast and chop pistachios. Toast sesame seeds. Toast coconut. Mix it all together with salt and pepper.
WHY WE LOVE IT: When we made this is in our test kitchen, our editors couldn't help but inhale it by the palmful. We can’t wait to regain a little control so that we can spoon it on salads, use it to crust tofu and fish, and gift it to our friends. —The Editors
